Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

If you're interested, please contact me directly. Sincerely, Brian Glover Visiting Assistant Prof. of English Union College “The Eighteenth Century: New Ecocritical Perspectives” Brian Glover, Dept. of English, Union College, 807 Union St., Schenectady, NY 12308. Tel: (518) 388-8749; E-mail: gloverb@union.edu In environmental discussions, the eighteenth century is often regretted as the start of technological, commercial, intellectual, and cultural patterns that have brought about our current problems. Yet eighteenth-century cultural artifacts can also offer us unique views on ways of life and thought that have been since been eclipsed by global industrial development. Through the literature and culture of the past, this panel aims to surprise us with new ways of imagining the relations between humans and the rest of the world.
